TECNOTION INSTALLING IRONLESS LINEAR MOTORS
DOCUMENT NR 4022.363.4197.1 2INTRODUCTION
Intro
IIntroduction
Generally a linear motor system is a part of a specific machine.
Tecnotion’s linear motors can be combined with numerous application
devices. This installation manual is intended for those technicians who
construct a machine that includes a linear motor system
When installing a linear motor system one should be familiar with some
important safety remarks. In the first chapter these remarks are made.
Please, read them carefully.
Besides mounting the coil unit and the magnet plates, the installation
includes the electrical wiring and the connections between the motor
and the servo-controller.
Before starting up, some required settings will be discussed. Finally
your linear motor can take off for it’s first ride.
For further information and support, please contact:

TECNOTION INSTALLING IRONLESS LINEAR MOTORS
DOCUMENT NR 4022.363.4197.1 3BEFORE YOU START
Chapter
Ch 1. Before you start
Please read the following instructions very carefully. They are important
for a safe and warranted installation and operation of the Linear Motor.
1.1. Important notice
Before installing and using the Linear Motor, read this
instruction manual carefully. The manufacturer declines all
responsibility in case of accident or damage due to
negligence or lack of observance of the instructions
described in this manual. The manufacturer also declines all
responsibility in case of accident or damage in conditions
that differ from those indicated in the manual; Tecnotion also
declines all responsibility for damage caused by improper
use of the Linear Motor.
Handle the components of the Linear Motor with care,
packed as well as unpacked. Especially the magnet yokes
are sensitive to mechanical shocks. Never drop a magnet
yoke or release it in an uncontrolled way.
Do not expose the magnets to temperatures higher than
70° C. The magnets may be demagnetized at higher
temperatures.
Unpack the Linear Motor and check its integrity. If there is
any irregularity, contact the dealer or manufacturer,
signalling the nature of the defects.
Make a note of the serial number. This facilitates the
correspondence with the supplier.

1.2. Safety warnings
The Linear Motor is used as a part of a machine. The user
has to take care that the machine as a whole fulfils all CE
requirements.
The magnet yokes contain a strong magnetic field. Lose iron
objects that are brought within 5cm of the yokes, can be
drawn into the yokes and cause damage.
The magnet yokes do attract each other while mounting.
Take care that the closing plates of one yoke do not damage
the magnets of the neighbour magnet yoke while mounting.
If at any time and in any situation there is any doubt about
the safety of the Linear Motor, do not use it and contact your
supplier.
The Linear Motor is powered by a servo amplifier. In case of
a power disruption or fatal error this may automatically result
in a free run out of the motor. Make mechanical precautions
to prevent damage on the motor or your machine in the case
of such an event.
Before installing the motor, make sure that the supply mains
are grounded and operate in conformity with the regulations
in force.

Make sure that there is an effective protective earth. Make
sure that there is no voltage at the line wire terminals before
connecting.
An earth connection does not work on non-conducting
mounting surfaces like granite. In these cases the protective
earth must be established by an earthing wire
Before carrying out checks or doing any maintenance, clear
the system by disconnecting the voltage. Be sure that there
is no possibility of accidental connections.
1.3. EC declaration
Tecnotion B.V. declares that the all linear motors produced by
Tecnotion are manufactured in accordance with the applicable
European directives and in conformity with the following standards:
Standard # Date of issue Name of Standard
EN 60034 05-1998 Rotating electrical machines
EN 60204 (-1) 02-1995 Safety of machinery
EN 50081-2 08-1993 Emission requirements for products in an
industrial environment
EN 50082-2 03-1995 Immunity requirements for products in an
industrial environment

Ch 2. Components
Figure 1: A complete ironless linear motor system
An ironless linear motor of Tecnotion is not a system on itself. It
contains several components, such as a coil unit and magnet yokes.
The components should be build within a total machine concept or a
working unit. The size and the shape of the mounting frame, the design
of the slide, the type bearings or the kind of dampers depend of the
required application. For instance the mounting frame and the slide
should be designed in such a way that a correct air gap between coil
unit and magnet yokes will be obtained.
Tecnotion provides standard and special components which are
suitable for numerous linear motor applications. These components
can easily be applied in your system.

Before starting the installation, check the presence of the
right number and type of the delivered components. In case
of doubt, please contact Tecnotion immediately.
2.2. Additional Features
For a proper installation of your linear motor system you also need
•fixing components, like bolts and pins;
•additional devices, like a servo controller and a linear encoder;
•the right tools.
These features are no part of Tecnotion’s standard delivery. If desired
Tecnotion can supply all additional components as well as some types
of devices.
